Abstract

A method and system for data transmission between a package mailbox and at least one central data processing unit in a logistic system for the operation of one or more package mailboxes. Events at a package mailbox are evaluated by means of a communication device, which transmits function requests corresponding to the events to the data processing unit. The data processing unit carries out the corresponding functions and optionally returns data to the communication device of the package mailbox.
